While many factors may predispose a woman to breast cancer risk, having low

vitamin D appears to facilitate the aggressive spreading of the cancer to

other areas of the body, according to research presented this week at the

American Association for Cancer Research Conference on the Science of Cancer

Health Disparities.

The new research is an extension of earlier research showing that vitamin D

levels below 20 are associated with significant risk whereas levels above 40

are associated with reduced risk. The average vitamin D level in women with

breast cancer is 27.

In the new research, women below 20 with breast cancer were 8 times as

likely to experience the spreading of that cancer compared to women with

vitamin D above 40. Since spreading of the disease is associated with

increased risk of death from breast cancer it seems to only make sense for

every woman to ensure their vitamin D levels are at least 40.

The FDA should allow a health claim for vitamin D and breast cancer risk

reduction, as well as preventing more serious cases of breast cancer.

However, the FDA is much more interested in ensuring that the profits of the

cancer sickness industry are maintained - including a steady stream of new

customers. The Obama FDA is even worse than the Bush FDA in terms of

aggressively attacking valid health claims for dietary supplements. When

the citizens of the U.S. finally realize the Earth is not flat the FDA will

be one of the first bureaucracies to be shown the exit.
